Default Toyota F1

Wow, I have to say Toyota has shown they are a real player this year. It is a complete 180 from the years past. Toyota has shown they adopted to the rules change very well. Ferrari and BAR Honda both were #1 and #2 last year and are a complete disaster right now. Both teams are close but still haven't quite figured it out. Renault IMHO will win the drivers championship and the contructors championship. I know it is early to predict especially with the extended season this year, but Renault looks like Ferrari in the past. Nobody is even close to them right now. I predict it will take at least another 2-3 race weekends before teams catch them up. I'd say Toyota, Ferrari, and McLaren will fight for 2nd throughout the end of the seaons, and BAR/Honda will battle Williams for 5th, but probably end up 6th unless they get it together by Imola next race weekend. Going 4 race weekends with no points and no finishes period would be too much to overcome even in this long season.
